Got OpnSense Installed First time this Week, Impressed Great Logical Design. Trying the Trial but Disappointed it's Not Blocking ads. Previously Had the Ad Blocking Diversion, in My Asus SSH Shell running with OISD Blocklist(Didn't need Any extra Blocklists) in My ASUs Router(Sold It) with Amtm shell, which is Extremely effective.
Is There anyway, To get it running in OpnSense Or is there An Equivalent AdBlock?

Regards.


I understand OpnSense Primarily A-Firewall of Course. No Not Tried Unbound, thanks.

So UnBound Installed and tried A Blocklist URL but I Not got this beat. Can you Help me setup UnBound correctly?


You enable DNSBL, select the lists and click apply, be sure your internal clients use the firewall as DNS

OISD lists are not part of predefined sources, but you can add these lists to "URLs of blocklists" field.
In case of OISD the urls are https://big.oisd.nl/domains or https://small.oisd.nl/domains

Also you should add a cron job, from https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/unbound.html#blocklists:

Quote
In order to automatically update the lists on timed intervals you need to add a cron task, just go to System -> Settings ->Cron and a new task for a command called "Update Unbound DNSBLs".

Usually once a day is a good enough interval for these type of tasks.
